problems associated with your TRENDnet router model and version. To check if there is
a firmware upgrade available for your device, please check your TRENDnet model and
version using the link. http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/

your router, log in to the router, click on the Administrator section and then on the
Status. The firmware used by the router is listed at the top of this page. If there is a
newer version available, also review the release notes to check if there were any new
features you may want or if any problems were fixed that you may have been
experiencing.
